Frequently asked questions

What does a vacancy cost at Werkvolk?
Posting a vacancy is always free, including your whole account's first 2 matches. Want more? Choose a plan from €149 per month per vacancy, or a bundle like Team (€449, 4 vacancies) or Business (€799, 8 vacancies) that lowers the price per vacancy.
Are the first 2 matches really free, forever?
Yes, and it's not a temporary promotion: this is the permanent price. Your whole account gets its first 2 Werkvolk-verified matches free, no matter how many vacancies you post. Once unlocked, those matches stay yours, even if you never subscribe afterwards.
Am I tied into anything?
No. There's no minimum term: you can cancel or switch plans anytime. No hire after 12 weeks? We boost your vacancy for free so it ranks higher in results.
What happens if I have more vacancies than my plan allows?
Your other vacancies stay online and still count for visibility, but vacancies beyond your plan's slots are billed at the standard rate of €149 per vacancy per month.
Is culture-fit matching included in the price, and what's the Culture Suite then?
Culture-fit matching is included free with every vacancy, even on the free plan: every candidate takes a personality test and is automatically matched to the culture of the team you're hiring for. The Culture Suite is a separate product: a recurring measurement of your whole organisation's culture, per team or department, independent of any vacancy. It's included free in Business and Group, or you can buy it separately from €49 per month plus €2 per employee who takes the test.
What does the Culture Suite cost, and what counts as an employee?
The Culture Suite costs €49 per month plus €2 per employee who actually takes the culture test, so you don't pay for your entire headcount, only for who participates. Business and Group include the Culture Suite for free, up to 150 and 500 employees respectively.
How does the annual discount work?
Pay a year upfront and you get 2 months free on every plan and on the Culture Suite. This doesn't apply to a one-off Vacancy Boost. If you switch plans, we settle the difference. You can also pay by bank transfer; your access starts once we've received the payment.
If posting is free forever, how does Werkvolk make money?
Not from your job ad. Posting a vacancy, appearing on VDAB and Google Jobs, and running our AI and culture-fit matching cost us the same whether you ever pay or not, so we never charge for any of it. We get paid at one specific moment: when a match turns into a conversation, the moment you unlock who someone is, message them directly and pull their details into your own process. Your first 2 matches, account-wide, are free too, and stay yours even if you never pay afterwards. If our matching didn't produce good candidates, nobody would ever pay to unlock them, so a genuinely useful free tier is exactly how we prove the paid part is worth it.
What's the difference between a Vacancy Boost and the free boost after 12 weeks?
A Vacancy Boost is something you buy yourself, immediately, whenever you want more visibility for a specific vacancy: €49, no subscription needed. The free boost is automatic: if a vacancy hasn't led to a hire within 12 weeks, we boost it for you at no cost. Don't want to wait 12 weeks? Boost it now. Happy to wait? The free boost still kicks in automatically either way.
How does this compare to the cost of a staffing agency?
A staffing agency or recruiter typically charges 17 to 25% on top of gross salary, or thousands of euros per placement. At Werkvolk you pay a fixed amount from €149 per month per vacancy and hire directly, with no middleman. The candidate joins your payroll straight away.
Can I work with multiple recruiters or locations?
Yes, unlimited, on every plan, including the free one. Unlike most recruiting platforms, we never charge per seat or per recruiter: your whole team joins for free. Multi-company management also lets you add locations or brands, each with its own vacancies, branding and culture profiles.
How do I cancel a vacancy or plan?
You manage this yourself in the employer portal: pause, switch or stop a plan whenever you want, with no notice period.
How do I add the “Apply via Werkvolk” button to my own site?
Every vacancy gets its own embed button that you copy in one step from the employer portal and paste onto your own vacancy page. Candidates then apply directly through Werkvolk, even when they arrive via your own website.
I still have questions about pricing. Where can I go?
